## Class ChecksumAlgorithm

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.tools.ant.types.selectors.modifiedselector.ChecksumAlgorithm

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Algorithm

    public class ChecksumAlgorithm
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements Algorithm

Computes a 'checksum' for the content of file using java.util.zip.CRC32 and java.util.zip.Adler32. Use of this algorithm doesn't require any additional nested s. Supported s are:

name | values | description | required
--- | --- | --- | ---
algorithm.algorithm | ADLER | CRC ( default ) | name of the algorithm the checksum should use | no, defaults to CRC

Since:
  Ant 1.7

#### ChecksumAlgorithm

    public ChecksumAlgorithm()

### Method Detail

#### setAlgorithm

    public void setAlgorithm(java.lang.String algorithm)

Specifies the algorithm to be used to compute the checksum. Defaults to "CRC". Other popular algorithms like "ADLER" may be used as well.

Parameters:
  `algorithm` - the digest algorithm to use

#### initChecksum

    public void initChecksum()

Initialize the checksum interface.

#### isValid

    public boolean isValid()

This algorithm supports only CRC and Adler.

Specified by:
  `isValid` in interface `Algorithm`
Returns:
  true if all is ok, otherwise false.

#### getValue

    public java.lang.String getValue(java.io.File file)

Computes a value for a file content with the specified checksum algorithm.

Specified by:
  `getValue` in interface `Algorithm`
Parameters:
  `file` - File object for which the value should be evaluated.
Returns:
  The value for that file

#### toString

    public java.lang.String toString()

Override Object.toString().

Overrides:
  `toString` in class `java.lang.Object`
Returns:
  some information about this algorithm.
